Lorian Fantz

BFA, MAE, MA ATCreative Arts Therapy | Transpersonal Healing

Lorian uses creative arts therapy as a healing modality for children, adolescents, and family groups. The creative aspect represents only one element within the larger scope of Transpersonal Healing; an element that plays a central role in the healing process for children and many individuals who struggle with traditional forms of self-expression or finding their voice. Lorian is passionate about working with children, helping them to learn, grow, and understand their own innate potential and discover their inner truth.

Surrounded by the Arts as a young child herself, Lorian continued to explore different forms of self-expression and creativity throughout her life. Lorian studied visual art and musical performance, and has taught art and music for the past twenty years. Lorian’s love of learning and innate curiosity lead her from her start in the Fine Arts into the areas of Art Therapy and Counseling, and she has five years of experience working with children and families in this field.

Creative Arts Therapy, combined with Mindfulness/ Relaxation techniques, Breath work, and Energy Balancing Practices is helpful for individuals experiencing minor life adjustments as well as extended or ongoing physical, emotional, or mental conditions:

- anxiety - anger/aggression

- depression - low self-esteem/ lack of motivation

- trauma - chronic pain/ illness

- ADD/ADHD - spectrum disorders

- fears/ phobias - parent/child or sibling relationship issues

Lorian establishes a relationship with each client, and uses their own natural strengths and tendencies to guide the therapeutic process. Creative self-expression may include visual imagery, rhythm and sound, free or structured movement, written /verbal expressions. Lorian’s philosophy is based on the individual’s natural tendency to heal - through finding balance within the self, with others, and with the natural world.
